Kathy Hochul became the 57th Governor of New York and the first woman to hold the office when Andrew Cuomo resigned in August 2021. She won a full term in November 2022 against Republican Lee Zeldin.
The New York State Police Aviation Unit (callsign "GrayRider") operates 21 aircraft across four bases (Albany, Saranac Lake, Newburgh, Rochester) serving multiple missions including executive transport, search and rescue, and law enforcement. The primary VIP transport aircraft include a 2013 Sikorsky S-76D helicopter (N761NY) and two Beechcraft Super King Air turboprops (N200NY, N201NY). Hochul also spent over $415,000 in campaign funds on chartered private jets for more than 30 personal flights since 2021, separate from state aircraft.
Note · We track Kathy Hochul's planes, not Kathy Hochul in person. Flight data shows when and where each plane flew. It does not show who was on board.
Over the last 48 completed flights we tracked, Kathy Hochul's planes spent about 30 hours in the air. We estimate those flights put out 28.9 metric tons of CO₂.

About 961 kg for every hour in the air. Kathy Hochul's Sikorsky S-76D (N761NY) burns roughly 100 gallons of jet fuel an hour. That is about the same CO₂ as driving an average car 2,378 miles.
Kathy Hochul's home airport is Albany International Airport (KALB / ALB). Frequent stops include KLGA, KJFK, KDCA and KBUF.
About 28.9 metric tons of CO₂ over 48 tracked flights and 30 hours in the air. We start with the flight times from public ADS-B data. We multiply each hour by the maker's fuel burn figure. Then we apply the EPA standard of 9.57 kg of CO₂ per gallon of jet fuel.
Yes. The FAA requires planes with transponders to broadcast their position over ADS-B, and the signal is not encrypted. We collect that public data from adsb.lol and ADSB.fi, two open flight-tracking networks. News outlets and university researchers use the same kind of data. Our methodology page explains how it works.
